The following has been accomplished since she began with Doris:
- nails are cut and look professionally manicured (Doris asked if she could do this and I said YES please?)
- Sofia is eating cereal every day and learning how to manage the spoon feeding thing very well. Next week we might move on to sweet potatoes. Woo hoo!
- Sofia FELL ASLEEP ON HER OWN at Doris's house and STAYED ASLEEP for TWO HOURS. My jaw dropped open. This has NEVER happened. Not ever (the falling asleep unassisted part...and staying asleep part at nap time)
- Sofia has started sleeping at home better and has gone 8 hours between feedings at night for 3 nights (not in a row, but it's progress)
In a nutshell? I LOVE DORIS! I'm not anxious during the day at all about her being there. I am grateful every single day that we have her and feel bad that we only pay her the little money that we do. She is worth 5 times the amount ($225 per week if you're curious).
Every day, Russ sends me a picture of Sofia when he drops her off. Here are two from this week:
